Excerpt from SleazeRoxx.com
The Dirty Diamonds, hailing from Limerick, Ireland, have released their bluesy rock and roll debut, a four-song EP titled Leaving Town that will have your devil horns in the air and get your ass shaking.
The first track, "Lets Get Loud", cranks up the speed, slows it down, and then ramps back up -- it's an effective opener that has a KISS influence and feel to it (both in sound and name of the track). "Goin' Down" is the real energy driver on this EP. With lyrics, "This is rock and roll my friend, not one of your bullshit trends", it is very straight forward and an effective song to bang your head to or work yourself into a rage (if that's your thing). "Last Chance For Love" has a unique back and forth sound and features Phil Toft's high pitch squeals during the chorus. The closer, "Leaving Town", is my favorite -- a grooving number that has the most rock and roll 'pop' sound to it, which I believe fits this band best.
